CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: _Ordinance No. 1572 First Reading City Attorney Edwards advised that Item Nos. 15 and 16 are being removed from the Agenda, and read the following report in their place: On October 15, 1979, Staff met and discussed the procedure for fixing the compensa- tion of the City Clerk and City Treasurer. Staff recommends the following: 1. Amend the current Ordinance to provide that supplemental compensation to the salary fixed therein may be provided by resolution of the City Council. 2. Adopt a resolution fixing supplemental compensation. The resolution would fix those sums at the difference between the total now paid and the respec- tive ordinance amounts. It would ratify such payments from July 1, 1979, when the current cost of living adjustment was made. If the Council agrees, the action tonight would be the introduction of Ordinance No. 1572. Adoption of the Ordinance and the Resolution would follow at the next Council Meeting. Councilman Hayes asked City Clerk Ramos what effect this amendment will have on Ordinance No. 829. City Clerk Ramos responded the basic difference will be in the addition of the sentence - "The City Council may provide by resolution for supplemental compen- sation." - which has, in the past, been understood to be permitted by the Govern- ment Code. Mrs. Ramos said this addition now clarifies the procedure for the City Council and City Attorney. Mayor Gonzales asked City Treasurer Margaret Berkebile if she was in agreement with the proposed ordinance. Mrs. Berkebile responded from the audience, yes, she was in agreement.

Mr. Edwards advised that after consultation with the Mayor and Acting City Manager on this item, he referred the matter to the law firm of Best, Best & Krieger as the nature of this case falls within the area of expertise of the Federal litiga- tion department of that law firm. Mr. Edwards concluded Staff recommendation is motion action by the City Council approving authorization for Best, Best & Krieger to defend the action on behalf of the police officers. OCT 16 1979
